Sophia is a darling sweet as sugar 3 year old female grey/white Schnauzer, weighing 12lbs who was saved from
an abusive puppy mill situation in TN. Luckily they were saved in the
nick of time. Sophie arrived very pregnant and she just gave birth.
They all seem to be healthy. It's
still so early to tell even the sex of the pups but they are taking
advance applications for them so they will be ready to go to their
forever homes once they are 2-3mos old. Please lets find Sophie and all the little pups loving homes!

Starsky and Hutch story is a sad one....their former owner of these brothers confined them to a
horse trailer for the entirety of their young lives, depriving them of
the one thing dogs want most: simply to be with their people. Damage was
done. The complete void of love, human contact and socialization
accounts for their shy and fearful natures. Starsky and Hutch were
rescued, literally, from death's door. Their owner was taking them into a
high-kill county shelter just as a rescue was coming out. She
knew all too well the certain fate of such terribly shy dogs in a
stressful, overpopulated shelter, and she took them home with her. It
was the beginning of the end of their nightmare. Starsky (the hunky dark-haired
one) and Hutch (the blond heartthrob) spent their first days at our
shelter hunkered together under a sink, terrified of everyone and
everything. They had to be carried to the yard. They had no idea how to
walk on leash. Didn't know what it meant to be touched or loved by a
human. Damage had been done. A week later, they were walking to the
yard and back like seasoned pros and accepting if
tentatively affectionate pets. With an inspiring resiliency that makes
us realize yet again that dogs are far superior to us humans, Hutch
has really blossomed under the daily TLC of STAF volunteers. He greets
us at the front of his run with a smiling face, a crazy-happy tail, and
those gorgeous brown eyes. Starsky, too, has come a long
way, but has a way still to go. Looking into his soulful dark eyes, we
see a spirit desperate to be let loose. So we continue to work with him,
providing him with the love, one on one attention and daily routine
that will bring him out of his shell and into the world of the living.

Starsky and Hutch must be adopted together. We will never know if
they are true brothers, but they are in their hearts, and we do not want
to break that bond. We request that you have a fenced in yard. They are
afraid of new things that we feel they become to stressed on a walk and
may try to bolt. Our volunteers take them on walks so they are getting
used to the traffic, but they are still unsure. Their perfect home will
provide the sense of security they need to continue to heal
emotionally, training to teach them confidence, and joyful celebrations
with every small step they take toward becoming the trusting, loving and
loved dogs they were meant to be. Recently a volunteer has taken Starsky & Hutch under her wing and
has started taking them on home visits. After their initial show of
insecurity from being in a new place, they turned in to the silliest
happiest dogs. She thought they would wag their butts off, and every
time she would say something to them they would start wagging even
harder. They are good boys, no getting in to anything, no chewing up
anything. They love to go out in to the backyard and just lay in the
sun. They also love her cat, who knew?Starsky and Hutch are going to need a lot of positive help from their
human(s) when first settling in. Do you have a quiet home that has
room for two boys? A home with enough room on the floor for two dogs
beds? A home that would welcome two of the sweetest, bravest souls we
have ever known in to their lives? We are hoping there is someone out
there that can give them their chance at happiness. They have been at
STAF for two years. That is two years too many. Please lets find these two sweethearts a loving home!

Starsky and Hutch - Cincinnati, OH

Save The Animals Foundation
Cincinnati, OH 45227
(513) 561-7823http://www.staf.org___________________________________________________ Gorda was surrendered after the family's living arrangements
changed and the new landlord wouldn't allow her. She is a 6 year old
Yellow Lab mix who has been a wonderful family dog, she raised two kids.
If you give her a chance to warm up you will see her true personality
come out. She is tentative when meeting new people as her family didn't
get her out & about. She would be a good companion for someone home
alone during the day & will alert you when people come to the house.
Gorda speaks Spanish & is learning English commends in her foster
home. She is also learning leash skills
& she would love someone who could continue her training & take
her for hikes. Gorda has an athletic build but can also be a couch
potato. We are looking for a home for her where she will be able to get
out and enjoy life & see some of the things she has missed being a
sheltered pup. Gorda is spayed, vaccinated & will be heartworm
tested prior to adoption. Adoption fee $165. Please fill out an
application at website listed below so we can schedule a meet and
greet with you and her foster family. Please lets find her the a good home!

Murry is a sweet Golden Retriever mix, who happens to only have three legs. He is in desperate need of a loving home. The price for dogs at PARC is $40. This price includes
sterilization (if you use our vets), first shots, first worming, and if
over 16 weeks, a rabies vaccination. Please lets find Murry a great home!

No paw left behind our mission!{Please keep in mind a dog is
lifetime commitment. They need attention, love and time just like we do.
In addition, adding a pet to the family does cost money in the way of
food, health care, training,etc. So before adopting make sure you are
willing to make that kind of commitment and have the resources to do
so.}If you want to be a part of
Woof Wednesdays email Ann Michele, Lauren or leave a comment. Or simply
start posting about dogs in need of a home on your blog or facebook
page!

Welcome

Welcome to my world. I believe we should all try to be the change we wish to see and that the truth will set you free. Here you will find a little bit of everything, a journal of sorts of what feels like a road less traveled life. As well as a mission to help shelter dogs find loving homes.
